The Book of
Isaiah
Chapter 56
Isaiah 56:1 Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment,
and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness
to be revealed.
2 Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the son
of man that layeth hold on it; that keepeth the sabbath from polluting
it, and keepeth his hand from doing any evil.
3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath
joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, The LORD hath utterly separated
me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that
keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of
my covenant;
5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and
within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters:
I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
6 Also the sons of the stranger, that join themselves
to the LORD, to serve him, and to love the name of the LORD, to be his
servants, every one that keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, and taketh
hold of my covenant;
7 Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and
make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their
sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called
an house of prayer for all people.
8 The Lord GOD which gathereth the outcasts of
Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered
unto him.
9 All ye beasts of the field, come to devour, yea,
all ye beasts in the forest.
10 His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant,
they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving
to slumber.
11 Yea, they are greedy dogs which can never have
enough, and they are shepherds that cannot understand: they all look to
their own way, every one for his gain, from his quarter.
12 Come ye, say they, I will fetch wine, and we
will fill ourselves with strong drink; and to morrow shall be as this day,
and much more abundant.
To study the Bible is the noblest of all pursuits;
to understand it, the highest of all goals.
We pray that with the guidance of the Holy
Spirit, you accomplish both.
